Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell on why she isn't endorsing in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary

There are many people that are afraid to go into public service right now because of threats to their family. I think we got to stand up to hate wherever and whenever we see it. And that might sound simplistic or trite. It's not trite. It's happening too much in this country. (09:14–09:21)
